About
Exertion Interfaces is the home of research on the use of exertion as input to computer technology, which is most buoyant in exertion games, also called exergames or exergaming.
This research was initiated by Florian 'Floyd' Mueller (floyd at floyd<lastname><dot>com) with the help of many others, attributed on the individual project pages.
Florian ‘Floyd’ Mueller is a currently a Visiting Scholar on a Fulbright Fellowship at Stanford for one year. Originally from Germany, his research has spanned affective computing, tangible interfaces and computer-supported coooperative work conducted at Xerox Parc, FXPalo Alto Laboratories, MIT Media Lab and Media Lab Europe. Before joining the Interaction Design Group at the University of Melbourne, Australia, Floyd was a principal scientist at the Commonwealth and Scientific Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) in Australia, leading a research team of 12 staff on the future of “Connecting People”. Floyd is also a Microsoft Research Asia Fellow and by some regarded as the world's expert in human-computer interaction research on exertion games.
He teaches the first class on this topic at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, which resulted in several inspirational prototypes, acknowledged internationally.
